All the Different Exhibits & Rooms at Museum of Illusions
Optical illusions, games & puzzles that you’ll find here!
Photo Illusions
Nothing is what it seems in the Museum of Illusion, not even the pictures!
Optical Illusions
A reminder that our senses are imperfect and our perception of the world is often distorted.
Holograms
Amazing images which create 3D illusions.
The Bottomless Pit
Things to compare with a bottomless pit.
The Chair Illusion
Explore the laws of perception and play with roles and size rate by simply trying the chair!
Ames Room
Experience how a person walking back or forth either grows or shrinks before your eyes.
Rotated Room
Are you ready to radically change your view of the world? How about for 90 degrees? Have photos of incredible poses taken! Your imagination is the limit.
Infinity Room
The room of mirrors. Mirrors at full height are installed all around creating an optical illusion of infinite space.
Anti-Gravity Room
Your brain and eyes make unconscious inferences about whether you’re standing on a flat or slanted surface. Balls rolling upwards, water flowing uphill…
True Mirror
Do you know that what you see in the mirror when you look at yourself is not how people see you? Time to see what you really look like!
Stereogram
A stereogram is a picture within a picture. Inside each image is a hidden object which appears in 3D when viewed correctly. Bringing the stereogram image really close to your eyes (until you touch it with your nose), your eyes cannot focus on the image and they look somewhere behind the image. While trying to keep the eyes off focus and by slowly pushing the image away from you, you will see the hidden image.
Kaleidoscope
The jolly patterns are created only by the visitors, instead colorfulful papers and pearls.
Hollow Face Illusion
They’ll fill any hollow space that we are looking at just to see the face.
Rubin’s Vase
Spin it and discover how many faces it hides.
Head on the Plater
Experience the illusion of a hidden body. Nobody involved will be hurt. Everybody will have fun.
The Mirage
It will not only make you believe that you see a real 3D object but it will continue to stimulate you even when you grab it and end up with a handful of air.
